Difference between Biomagnification and Polychlorinated biphenyl

Biomagnification vs. Polychlorinated biphenyl

Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is the increasing concentration of a substance, such as a toxic chemical, in the tissues of tolerant organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain. A polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) is an organic chlorine compound with the formula C12H10−xClx.

Similarities between Biomagnification and Polychlorinated biphenyl
